Compression Fitting

Installation

Read Instructions Carefully Prior to Install.

1. Shut off water supply.

2. Check tubing for dents, bends, putty or

burrs and make sure it is cut square.

Fix/cut accordingly.

3. Place new compression nut on the pipe (threads

facing valve), then the ferrule sleeve.

4. Slide valve on to the pipe until it bottoms out such

that the tube is seated all the way into the fitting. DO

NOT USE SEALANT/PUTTY/PIPE

DOPE/TAPE. Usage of these materials will result

in a leak or valve failure.

5. Slide the sleeve back until it is touching the valve,

then bring the nut over top of it. Again, ensure the

supply pipe remains seated and square to the fitting.

6. Hand tighten the nut onto the supply port making

sure it is threading on smoothly.

7. Stabilize the valve and tighten nut 1/2 of a turn. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Overtightening can lead to failure and leaking long after installation.

8. Attach tubing/hose to other end of the valve, turn on water supply and check for leaks. If

a leak occurs, turn the water off and tighten appropriate nut in quarter turn increments

until leak has subsided. Do not exceed 3/4 more turns or damage is possible. If leak

still remains, it is necessary to take back off compression nut and ferrule sleeve and

inspect the pipe for signs that could cause an improper seal (burrs, nicks, bends, etc.).
